Book Analysis of Doubly Truncated Data

Download or read book Analysis of Doubly Truncated Data written by Achim Dörre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to statistical methodologies used to analyze doubly truncated data. The first book exclusively dedicated to the topic, it provides likelihood-based methods, Bayesian methods, non-parametric methods, and linear regression methods. These procedures can be used to effectively analyze continuous data, especially survival data arising in biostatistics and economics. Because truncation is a phenomenon that is often encountered in non-experimental studies, the methods presented here can be applied to many branches of science. The book provides R codes for most of the statistical methods, to help readers analyze their data. Given its scope, the book is ideally suited as a textbook for students of statistics, mathematics, econometrics, and other fields.

Book Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation

Download or read book Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation written by Sam Efromovich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic and unified approach for modern nonparametric treatment of missing and modified data via examples of density and hazard rate estimation, nonparametric regression, filtering signals, and time series analysis. All basic types of missing at random and not at random, biasing, truncation, censoring, and measurement errors are discussed, and their treatment is explained. Ten chapters of the book cover basic cases of direct data, biased data, nondestructive and destructive missing, survival data modified by truncation and censoring, missing survival data, stationary and nonstationary time series and processes, and ill-posed modifications. The coverage is suitable for self-study or a one-semester course for graduate students with a prerequisite of a standard course in introductory probability. Exercises of various levels of difficulty will be helpful for the instructor and self-study. The book is primarily about practically important small samples. It explains when consistent estimation is possible, and why in some cases missing data should be ignored and why others must be considered. If missing or data modification makes consistent estimation impossible, then the author explains what type of action is needed to restore the lost information. The book contains more than a hundred figures with simulated data that explain virtually every setting, claim, and development. The companion R software package allows the reader to verify, reproduce and modify every simulation and used estimators. This makes the material fully transparent and allows one to study it interactively. Sam Efromovich is the Endowed Professor of Mathematical Sciences and the Head of the Actuarial Program at the University of Texas at Dallas. He is well known for his work on the theory and application of nonparametric curve estimation and is the author of Nonparametric Curve Estimation: Methods, Theory, and Applications. Professor Sam Efromovich is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association.

Book Partially Adaptive Estimation of Truncated Regression Modles

Download or read book Partially Adaptive Estimation of Truncated Regression Modles written by Patrick A. Turley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying traditional regression methods or parametric methods (such as OLS or the Tobit estimator) to truncated regression models leads to biased and inconsistent estimators when the error distribution is misspecified. This paper proposes using partially adaptive estimators based on flexible error distributions to account for possibly skewed or leptokurtotic errors. Monte Carlo simulations and empirical applications are used to compare the performance of these estimators to several semi-parametric estimators. These results suggest an improved performance of partially adaptive estimators over the other estimators considered based on the sample RMSE for the data considered. A study of how the impact of education on earnings varies among income levels shows significant variation in the results based on the estimation method used.

Book Estimation and Testing in Truncated and Nontruncated Linear Median Regression Models

Download or read book Estimation and Testing in Truncated and Nontruncated Linear Median Regression Models written by X. R. Chen and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of important recent advances in econometric theory are related to the methods of truncated regression model - the regression model in which the range of the dependent variable is restricted to some interval of ( -infinity, infinity), usually the non-negative half-line, such as the income of an individual. Powell used the L sub 1-norm criterion with some modifications in estimating the regression coefficients in truncated linear models. He proved the consistency and asymptotic normality of his estimates under a set of conditions. On the other hand, Nawata's paper uses the ordinary L sub 2-norm (least square) criterion, along with a grouping and adjustment of the observed data. In his view, his method has the merit of easy computation compared with the method of Powell. This paper borrows the basic idea of Nawata in grouping and adjusting the observed data. But the authors make simplifications in the procedure of grouping, which enables us to make substantial extensions of the results of Nawata's paper under weakened conditions. Keywords: Linear median regression; Truncated regression; Parameters; Linearity.
